Three years, Three Billion dollars- His worst mistake Chapter 27
POV: ArthurThe banquet ended without anything else worth staying for, but I still stayed longer than necessary, moving from one conversation to another out of habit rather than interest. I responded when spoken to, nodded where required, and kept my attention where it should have been, but it did not stay there for long, and by the time I decided to leave, the night already felt like a waste.Evelyn had left early.I noticed the moment she was gone, even though I did not intend to, and the fact that it bothered me at all was something I did not want to think about.Samantha stayed close beside me as we walked out, her hand resting lightly on my arm, and she spoke about the people we had met, mentioning names and small details that would normally matter, but I did not respond much. I gave short answers, enough to keep the conversation from stopping completely, but not enough to continue it, and after a while, she stopped trying.The drive home was quiet.The city lights passed by in a

POV: MalachiI did not leave immediately after the door closed behind me.I stood there for a moment, right in front of the car, the night air quiet around me, and I let out a slow breath as I tried to settle what I had been holding back since I saw her again. It had been years, and I knew that, but seeing her tonight made it feel like no time had passed at all, and that was the part that irritated me the most.She looked the same.Not exactly the same, but enough that it mattered, and the way she carried herself now only made it worse, because she was no longer the quiet girl who would stand back and take things in silence. She stood her ground now, spoke when she needed to, and made it clear she was not someone anyone could control anymore.I leaned back slightly against the car and ran a hand through my hair, my jaw tightening without me noticing it immediately.“That bastard,” I said quietly. “He took you from me and treated you like that.”The thought settled in a way I did not l

POV: EvelynMalachi insisted on driving, and I did not argue because I wanted to leave without waiting for anything else. The car moved through the city at a steady pace, and for a few minutes, neither of us spoke. It was quiet, not uncomfortable, just simple, and I preferred it that way after everything that had happened at the banquet.After a while, he glanced at me briefly before looking back at the road. “You handled that well,” he said.“It wasn’t difficult,” I replied.He made a small sound that suggested he didn’t fully agree. “Most people would have reacted differently.”“Most people are not me,” I said.“That’s obvious,” he replied. “Still, you didn’t even hesitate.”“I didn’t see a reason to,” I said. “She wanted a reaction. I didn’t give her one.”“And him?” he asked.“He was the same,” I replied. “Nothing new.”Malachi nodded slowly. “He doesn’t look like someone who accepts being ignored.”“That’s his problem,” I said.He let out a quiet breath, almost amused. “You reall

POV: EvelynI did not react immediately after Samantha stepped back.Her expression returned to normal so quickly that anyone watching would think it had been nothing more than an accident, and she even gave a small apologetic smile before turning away, leaving me standing there with the stain still visible on my dress.Malachi watched her go, then looked back at me.“That didn’t look like an accident,” he said.“It wasn’t,” I replied.He studied my face for a moment. “What did she say?”I didn’t answer right away. I reached for a napkin from a nearby table and pressed it lightly against the fabric, not because it would fix anything, but because it gave me something to do for a second before I spoke.“She warned me,” I said finally.Malachi’s expression shifted slightly. “About?”“Arthur,” I replied.He let out a small breath, then shook his head once. “Of course she did.”I glanced at him. “It doesn’t change anything.”“It might,” he said.“It won’t,” I repeated.He didn’t argue, but
Three years, Three Billion dollars- His worst mistake Chapter 23
POV: EvelynI walked out of the room without looking back, and I kept my pace steady until I was fully inside the main hall again, because there was no reason for anyone to notice anything about me. The noise of the banquet returned immediately, conversations blending with music and movement, and I stepped back into it like nothing had happened, even though I could still feel the irritation sitting just beneath the surface.Arthur had not changed, and that alone was enough to annoy me more than I expected, because even after everything, he still believed he could question me and interfere in my life as if I owed him anything. I pushed that thought aside before it settled too deeply and focused on what was in front of me instead.When I reached Malachi, he was exactly where I left him, and the moment he saw me, he tilted his head slightly, studying my face like he was trying to confirm something.“He bothered you, didn’t he?” he asked.I looked at him calmly. “Yes,” I said. “But he was

POV: ArthurThe banquet was one of those events that gathered the most influential people in the city in one place, and I attended it the same way I attended every other function of that level, not out of interest, but because it was necessary. Samantha stood beside me as we stepped into the hall, her hand resting lightly on my arm as we moved past the entrance and into the main space where conversations were already in progress.I greeted a few people as we walked in, exchanging brief words with men I had worked with before and others who were looking to, and everything followed the usual pattern of polite acknowledgment and controlled conversation that didn’t require much effort. Samantha handled her part without difficulty, smiling when needed and responding when spoken to, and for a while, nothing stood out from what I expected the night to be.Then I saw her.Evelyn was standing across the room, and I noticed her immediately without needing to look twice, because even after five
